We visited CGI Toronto yesterday and they fixed the OCI lamination within 15 minutes.

Consulate replied and asked us to visit them on any Wednesday to get this corrected.

Yeah, my spouse suggested that too but I am reluctant to do it as it is an official document and I don't want to take a risk to ruin it. Moreover, Consulate should take the responsibility to correct it. I do not have any immediate travel plans so will wait for consulate's response.

My OCI Date of Acknowledgement is also 25-Nov. It is still showing Under-Process on OCI website.

You should receive it within 3-weeks (including Purolator delivery) or max 4-weeks.

Add $6.00 for the status updates. You will get a call when your consulate starts working on your application and another call when your application is dispatched.

looks like, BLS has daily quota of selling the xerox copies and to meet that quota they ask for random copies. I submitted my OCI application on 4-Nov (Walk-in) and I only had the first page of the checklist. They didn't ask me the rest of the pages in the checklist.
